| _______________________________ [Sep 29,2009 3:52pm - timma ""] I don't know which was worst about college...the fortune I spent on books, or waking up at 5am to register for classes. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 29,2009 3:52pm - arktouros ""] Online you can find them for 1/3 of the price, but the catch to that is they may take a month to arrive, and sometimes the teachers rarely or never use it in class. I usually got poor Asian country paperback versions of my CS and math books, when I found out that the class actually used them. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 29,2009 3:54pm - aril ""] one of my literature classes required 17 books. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 29,2009 3:56pm - Murph ""] Unless your teacher specifies the Edition number of the book, there is no excuse for paying anything more than $60 for a book. End of story. |

| ___________________________________ [Sep 29,2009 4:00pm - dreadkill ""] my teachers used to always make us buy books we'd never end up using. i'd buy them cheap and used on amazon. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 29,2009 4:00pm - ouchdrummer ""] r u offended by his joke "wut"? Do you resent being called a fool? |
| ________________________________ [Sep 29,2009 4:00pm - xmikex ""] They all cost $60. You've just got to consider the $75 markup on them all because of a goofy ass CD Rom it comes with that you will never even open the wrapping on. The best is when you spent $80 on a book, goto class the first day, and realize that the douchebag on the book's jacket with a turtleneck, sports jacket, horseshoe pattern baldness, and smug look on his face is the motherfucker teaching the class. P.S. That book will not re-sell anywhere. |

End of story. This too. Editions are obvious scams by publishers, sometimes changing nothing but page numbers. |

| _________________________________________ [Sep 29,2009 8:31pm - DrewBlood@Work ""] i used to have a professor who gave us bootlegged copies of all the classwork for free. that was one of several reasons why jerry schaufeld is a king among men. best class, best teacher. oh yeah, he also took part of our tuition that was supposed to be paid to him and got everyone in class a subscription to the new york times. |
| _______________________________ [Sep 29,2009 8:49pm - M1nk ""] academia is first and foremost BIG business. if you think it's crazy that your spending foolish amounts of money on books....wait till you have spent 4-5 years tuition and you cant find a job to save your life. overqualified is REAL when no one can pay you.... |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 29,2009 9:52pm - xanonymousx ""] i hate this semester, i bought one of those international editions same thing, but the professor was up in arms but me using a book 'not legal' in the usa, next semester im going to buy a high powered scanner, and just scan all of them save them in pdf, and then print them, returning them before the return date... which believe it or not has already past, even the books i bought today. |
